I've never been on a tour before, but I fantasize. longest day ride I had was 30 miles abouts. In my day to day , I love visiting 7 elevens for treats in the middle of the night or on my way to work. When you become a regular at places like that, you can kinda come up with tricks to get a good value and not over indulge on salt and fat. Its still continence store food, there will be a mark up compared to groceries stores, but the coffee and pastries prices sure blow Starbucks out of the water. So I had the idea… what if I tried to visit every 7-Eleven along US route 11, starting from where the route intersects with my town, and pedaling north all the way up to Canada. How could I plan such a trip? what tools are there?

Hah! Of topic, but that just reminds me of something. A few years ago a friend of mine went to Guam for a short term contract job. When he came back, his only souvenir was a t-shirt that had a map of all the 7-11s of Guam. Best souvenir ever!
Big fan of cola flavored Slurpees on those stinky hot days!
Good luck with the tour!
On Googlemaps, zoom in on a chunk of Route 11 and search for 7 Eleven. If you scroll around the map (like moving north or south on Route 11) and click “Search this area,” you can see the relevant 7-11s along the way. Click on the Save flag and you can add them to a list.
